The current detection code for Linux kernels assumes that a kernel
package contains everything in it, i.e. the kernel itself, its modules,
and its configuration. However, since recent Ubuntu versions (e.g.
starting from 18.04) modules & config (with few more files) are split in
an own package, thus not detecting the modpath from installed vmlinuz
files.
To overcome this situation, rework this detection a bit:
1) find the vmlinuz file as before, but then immediately make sure it
exists by stat'ing it
2) find the modules path from the package as before:
2a) if found, extract the version in the same step
2b) if not found, get the kernel version from the vmlinuz filename,
and use it to detect the modules path
3) check that the modules path exists
The detection done in (2b) is based on the current packaging scheme
found in the most important Linux distributions (Fedora, RHEL, CentOS,
Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE, AltLinux, and possibly more). The notable
exception is Arch Linux.
As additional change, do not assume the config file is in the same
package as vmlinuz, but directly look into the filesystem using the
version we already have.
